One more classi Atari ST game down. Only 1 left now I believe. This was another game I had fond memories of from childhood. But as young child, I didn't really have the strategic ability or planning or forethought to be able to play this kind of tactical board game very well. Not that I've improved a huge amount in 20 years, but I did eventually get through it. Based on the old table top Warhammer 40K board game of the same name, this is tactical turn based murder at it's oldest schoolest. It often felt my guys dice were weighted, but I'm sure it always feels like that. This version did seem a bit cut down from the big daddy PC version in that it didn't actually tick off missions that were done and there was no actual ending as such. You just finished all the missions and were done. The missions were also by and large quit repetitive and really only 2 or 3 types repeated over and over again. Still, plenty of classic action ripping up orcs and dreadnoughts. And man, what a soundtrack.
